Omaha Bee, 18th: Colonel Joseph
Eiboeck, editor of the Dee Moines
Staatz Anzieger, was the protector. Of
one OF the most spirited meetings that
has occurred in this CITY for many a day.
1t was held in Metz hall last evening
and its object was to learn if possible,
the number OF former residents of lowe
now In Omaha, and who moved to this
city on account of the oppression and
dek ression caused by the prohibltory
of Iowa. The hall WAS crowded,
aud among the audience we're many ot
Omaha's most respected and influential
cltizens. Shortly after 8 o'clock Colonel
Elboeok called the meeting to order,
and in his opening address SAID:
"For many mouths / nave heard re-
ports to thee effect that there are hun
dreds of former lowans resident In this
CITY who moved from that state to avoid
the odious disadvantage caused by the
prohibitory law. AT first l could hardly
give credence to. b reports that there
were 1900 OF these people in Omaha.
This being the year OF years that will
tell whether or not the laws of lowe will
change, / Thought it 8 good plan to leave
my home IN Des Moines for q few weeks
and some over to Omaha and see for
myself the results OF the obnoxious,
p~rohibitory law of my state. / thought
BY this that l could show the people of
Iowa Just how much they haye lost by
by their rninous laws, and since / arriy-
ed here l have realized the fact that
there are more than 10000 Iowa people
IN this city and not merely 5000 as we
have been led to believe, / know for q
fact that 1000 OF the people here are
from Des Moines. The statement has
been made that only the saloonkeepers
left the state, but since I have been in
Omaha I have found that the great ma
lority were the mechanics, the artisans
and the business men. / have met men
to-day who we're former residents OF
Iowa who now represent three-fourths
| of o million invested in this city, and I
have learned from good authority that
there is over $4,000, 900 invested in this
city that would to-day be in Iowa il it
were not for the prohibitory laws in that
state. To bring cities in that afflicted
state mp to the proper standard we must
have the repeal of that law, and earnest
and untiring efforts OF able men Will be
placed in theEcampaign this fell, which,
IL Is hoped, will have the desired effect.
Now what / desire are the names, resi-
denDe, ard occupation of every former
resident of Iowa who has moved to this
city within the past three or four years.
| also want TO know oil of the capital
represented, and / am confident that the
vast array OF int and capital found
in this city and state Shich l shall pre-
sent before the people this fall will be
